We are all allies here, if you gentlemen want to revise the treaty, then we will revise.
To France, we request a ceasefire until we can iron out a peace treaty. We thank you for your patience.
So rather than talk about peace and rebuilding our lands you would have preferred we continue fighting? It is not France that is banging the war drums now. We signed a treaty that the UK and German Empire have already signed. We are allowed to defend what we have left, the treaty establishes that by allowing an army to be maintained
Dai Nam is disappointed with this response from the French Empire, but will not tempt another war by refusing. We are already in talks with the German Empire over the return of our territory.
This marks the end of French and Vietnamese hostilities.
OOC: I mean more money instead of land or some other benefit like industrial goods or something. Although I suppose it allows Italy to bribe me at some time also.OOC: Italy gets money, as do the other 2 and myself.
Her Majesty's Representative negotiated as best he could despite the dead weight offered by Spain.
We are willing to renegotiate if France and Germany so will it, and ask the French what they would accept in return for ceding Catalonia to Spain?
We should however, prefer to keep the current Treaty, as any renegotiation will take time, resources and will likely lead nowhere.
OOC: If you'll recall, I was always against you getting involved, for precisely this reason. When it came to talks, Catalonia was the largest stumbling block by far.
As for you Italy, you were rewarded. Its not like you really achieved anything, so count yourself lucky that I managed to get you Nice.
Strange. It would seem that the Spanish contribution to the war was taking a few undefended colonies, taking Algeria, which at the time was cut off and had no hope of reinforcement, helping to bring about the already certain defeat of the forces in Mexico, again cut off by the Royal Navy, and losing Catalonia. Now, far be it from myself to claim an experts understanding of the conflict, but with the West Afrikan attacks being minor pinpricks, Mexico being a certainty anyway and Algeria being only a matter of time, I think perhaps you should revise your statement.
Furthermore, we wish you to note that we strongly disapprove of your nation embarrassing itself by hurling hyperbolic statements at us openly.
OOC: Interestingly enough, war isn't a contest of how many people you can get to die for your country.
We do not ask the Germans to give up Luxembourg.
OOC: Love the way Im getting all the blame for this. It was Frymos suggestion, and I rolled with it on the advise of Morrell.
Her Majesty's Government asked the Dutch Government if they would like to receive French Guyana, should the French Government cede it to us and we not have a use for it. As the situation shows, French Guyana is not ours to give.
